A quick PSA: The last day to use up your pre-tax dollars in your 2024 Flexible Spending Account is March 15, which is a little over two weeks away. If you have a “use it or lose it” policy and can’t roll over money into the new year, don’t let your money go to waste. There are a lot of over-the-counter things you can buy that are FSA-eligible, including products you were probably going to buy eventually anyway. Below is a list of things ranging from the boring (but necessary) essentials (think Pepto and mouthguards) to the surprisingly delightful (like acupressure mats and splurgy skin-care devices). Most of the products are things we’ve written about before, and everything’s been crosschecked at the FSA store to make sure it’s eligible.
The Strategist is designed to surface useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Every product is independently selected by our team of editors, whom you can read about here. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
